LionelHutzEsq

Now, be fair, Bill is perfectly willing to clean Uranus with a loofah.

SorosBot

Can someone teach Bill to use google? The moon got there early in our solar system's history when the Earth was hit by a stray planet, probably about the size of Mars, causing Earth to re-liquefy and knocking a lot of material out of the planet; there was for a time blobs of magma orbiting each other, but over millions of years the stray material cooled back into rock as gravity pulled it into a sphere shape, which also happened to the bulk of the Earth. I didn't even have to look this up, Bill, it's not exactly uncommon knowledge.

And, who kicked the stray planet into the earth to make the moon? No answer to that!

LionelHutzEsq

Yes, if you are willing to accept the Socialistic explanation.

And, anyway, since when have facts been important to anyone on FOX News?

http://intensedebate.com/moderate/139022 GeoatBeck

Plausible but hardly fact. Which stray planet was this? Who tossed the planet or mass? Funny how some take there theories as fact and facts as theories. Not even your Richard Dawkins will say 100% there is no GOD. Check his interview with Ben Stein.http://vodpod.com/watch/1495392-ben-stein-vs-rich…

"Actually, Bill, the moon was most likely produced when another planetary body, perhaps Mars, collided with the earth, causing a massive ejection of materi- you're not listening, are you? Bill, could you take your fingers out of your ears? Oh, that's very mature."

Tundra Grifter

First of all, Pinhead, to the best of my knowledge (and the last time I checked) both Venus and Mars have a Sun. Actually, the same Sun we do.

And many planets in our solar system have a moon – heck, some have more than one.

As to Bull O'Really?'s big question, who put the person there who put up our Moon?

genxr

Looks like God likes Jupiter and Saturn WAY better than the Earth. Or maybe he got sick of watching us psychotic apes run around beating each other with clubs, and instead spends all his time putting moons up there. Kinda like that painter guy on PBS. Put a little moon here, put another one there, and maybe a nice round one right there…

Don't tell Bill, but Mars has two moons! We're in trouble now! And Jupiter — don't get me started!

And then there's the Tides.

This is actually kind of genius, in a retarded way. Some nerd night say "Well, the moon is a large chunk of the earth that split off following a collision by a comet or somesuch…". Billy would respond to that by increasing the scope of his question even further to include, I dunno, the solar system. GOTCHA PINHEADS YOU CANT EXPLAIN EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE, EVERYWHEN SIMULTANEOUSLY

But you can.

What Billy doesn't know is that the various well-known physical laws provide matter the capability to self-organize at all length scales. Whether it be the spontaneous assembly of complex biomolecules from simpler precursors in water, or the clustering of stars or galaxies during the early stages of the universe there are rules involved. Relatively simple ones at that.

No magic necessary, pinhead.

So you're saying that "science" is not a finished body of knowledge or a collection of test tubes, but an approach, a way of thinking constantly open to new ideas and better explanations of observable phenomena, even if the new explanations upset the old certainties? That even the Ptolemaic universe worked to the extent it was useful for predicting eclipses, although based on what now seem like fantasies? Are you saying the science is essentially an open-minded approach, then, as opposed to the received dogma of organized religion which cannot accept alternative explanations?

And are you saying that the argument "everything had to be created by something" falls apart if you ask, "Who created the Creator?"

That kind of thinking is dangerous, you know.

SmutBoffin

Bill seems to be just invoking different phenomena, expecting that, at some point, his critics will have to say "Well, I dunno the explanation of that one…". This is the point at which Bill "wins" the argument, because his weird god lives in these gaps.

There are things, of course, that we do not know. But we have good scientific principles that allow us to pass from general ideas (gravity and the organization of extra-solar matter) to specific instances (why our Earth has a moon and another planet doesn't).

Science, as in the structured observation and reduction to general principles of the behavior of our universe, has explanatory power. Bill can assert that certain principles (god) underly everything, but the only way he can connect them to specific phenomena is by his crazy loofah-imagination, not any real observation.

SorosBot

Oh, he also asks why we have a moon and Mars doesn't. Bill, Mars has two.

DoktorZoom

My guess is that he really wants to know why they don't have oceans, and hence, tides.

Motherfuckin' astronomy, how does it work?

SorosBot

Well see Bill, we know Mars had liquid water in the past but now it's too cold and all the water is frozen; the prevailing theory is that this due to Mars' loss of its' magnetic field, which…

Oh wait, you don't really care about the answer to these question, or the even fact that they have already been answered; you're just trying to score a rhetorical point with your drooling idiot fanbase, who don't know that astronomers have already figured a lot of this stuff out.

He should ask Glenn Beck. I'll bet the Tides Foundation has something to do with it.

So, we can all agree that Bill doesn't have time to watch PBS, Discovery, TLC or the History Channel. That would explain why he thought American troops slaughter SS troops in WWII at Malmedy.

"f I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is an intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense. If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time." –Bertrand Russell, 1952.
